FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling, dermarolling, or skin needling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles.
The Collagen P.I.N.® is a microneedling device that mechanically punctures and injures skin tissue through use of a 36-needle arrangement of medical grade stainless steel sterilized needles. The small punctures and minor injuries to the skin promote a healing response that reveals a visible transformation to the treated area.
Collagen P.I.N.® Microneedling treatments are appropriate for adults age 22 years and older. Your provider can help determine a treatment path suitable for addressing acne scars.
The Collagen P.I.N.® is FDA cleared as a treatment to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults 22 years and older in Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III
Microneedling treatments take as little as 30 minutes and when administered by an experienced provider, can deliver results with minimal post-procedure irritation and downtime. The Collagen P.I.N.® device was specifically designed to improve the patient experience and reduce the number of treatments needed to achieve results.
Prior to treatment, your medical provider will apply a topical numbing agent. Most microneedling patients report feeling little-to-no pain at all once a topical numbing agent has been applied.
In a clinical trial, 94% of patients reported no dryness, roughness of skin, itching, and burning – and 64% reported no tightness, erythema, and edema 2-3 days post-treatment.
Commonly, patients report seeing positive changes as soon as 3-4 weeks after the first treatment. However, a series of treatments is recommended for better, lasting results.
Microneedling results vary based on the area being treated, the needle depth chosen by your provider and your individual skin health.
Your provider may recommend follow-up skincare to compliment your treatment and aesthetic results.
Typically, a series of 3-5 treatments spaced in four week intervals is recommended depending on the specific concern.
Microneedling is an in-office treatment with little-to no downtime. Following the procedure, your skin will be red and flushed in appearance, similar to a sunburn. You may also experience skin tightness, mild sensitivity, a mild burning sensation, and pinpoint bruising on the treatment area. Your skin may be sensitive to exposure to sunlight for several days.
Induction Therapies sponsored a clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Collagen P.I.N.® as a treatment to improve the appearance of facial acne scars.
91.3% of the study participants reported that they were satisfied or very satisfied with the treatment results.
It’s typical for a series of 3-5 treatments to be scheduled twice a year to address any ongoing aesthetic skin concerns.
Microneedling treatments are administered year-round but are typically less frequent during summer months, when sun exposure is high and free-radical damage prevalent.
Suitable, paraben-free post-care products recommended by your provider should be applied to mitigate chances of sun damage post-treatment.
The use of the Collagen P.I.N.® device system should not be used on individuals who are pregnant or nursing.
Collagen P.I.N.® treatments are administered all across the United States by the nation’s leading microneedling practitioners.
